Which prescription drugs are covered under health insurance plans?
All health care plans have a drug formulary (i.e. a 'list of drugs' that are covered under the plan).
The drug formulary will vary from one plan to the next.
Insurance companies do not publish their drug formularies publicly, as doing so could potentially result in poorer health outcomes for patients.
E.g. a doctor may be more inclined to prescribe a patient 'Drug A' versus 'Drug B' knowing 'Drug A' is covered and 'Drug B' is not - even though the patient should really be prescribed Drug B for their condition being treated.
If there is a particular medication you are uncertain about, a member of Aeva Support can potentially clarify with the insurance company(ies) if it is covered under their respective formulary.
